Blouse – A
This is such an elegant top. The body is made of white, silky satin with three delicate buttons down the front. The sleeves are a sheer white material with got and solid white stripes running through it. The sleeves open with a snap closure, allowing for easy dressing.
Unfortunately, this thing snags like crazy. I’m mildly surprised that I didn’t absolutely destroy it as a child because even with me being a careful kid, the Velcro closure snags the satin shirt very easily. Mine has held up pretty well over the years, but it definitely has a few runs and snags from repeated use.
Jumper front. It also shows any wrinkle that it might have, but most of it is covered by the jumper, so I've never paid much mind to it.
Jumper – A+
This jumper is the best part of the outfit! It’s made of a heavy velvet material and has gold and white “snowflakes” embroidered into it. The neckline and armholes have a gold trim that stands out on the black velvet. It opens partially in the back with Velcro (the sticky kind) for ease of dressing. It hangs beautifully on the doll and has such a classic holiday look.
Jumper in bad lighting.
Tights – A+
Standard AG tights, no complaints. They’re both nice and sparkly while also feeling pretty comfortable. I wish my sparkly tights from my youth had been this soft!
Soft, sparkly tights!
Headband – A+
Just a headband, but it’s well made and the golden beads provide an elegant tie-in to the jumper.
Hey, look! No huge AG tag!
Shoes – A+
Like the headband and tights, these are pretty standard: just a pair of black pleather flats with two golden beads to make it part of the outfits, but they’re so elegant and fit the ensemble so well that I can’t help but be impressed.
Simple, classic shoes.
Good Value?
This is a piece from my childhood, so I didn’t purchase it, but research shows that my parents spent about $22 on it. Even given inflation adjustments, this seems reasonable for what you get – the items are well made and there are enough of them to give you a full outfit.
Overall – A+
This outfit holds a place near and dear to my heart because it was one of the first AG outfits that my parents bought me years and years ago when I got my Samantha in ’97. Unlike some outfits from that era, I think this one has held its timelessness very well. It’s still very elegant and looks like something I could see a girl today wearing to a nice event. Emma has been wearing it for years and I just love how it looks on her.
